@InsiderPolling if you have an opinion or data: in Roswell GA, early turnout for 2025 mayor and council is 180% of 2023 early turnout. 2025 ballot has the PSC item and an over-70 school tax break. What is the most likely cause for nearly doubling turnout – PSC or tax exemption?

@AtlantaGrubber @jimgilvin Not being a fan of chalking for parking tickets, my hope is they regret and rescinded and reversed this decision, but the jury is out until then.

I've been known to visit a bar or dozens in Alpharetta inc downtown. Bad idea wanting to enforce a 3-hour time limit. (HT to @scottlong for tip). Several places to watch football in downtown Alpha. @jimgilvin Just when I wanted Roswell to emulate Alpharetta--this!

@AtlantaGrubber clearly gotta get back there!

Second trip to Motor Supply Company in Columbia, SC. Only beginning year two of research, but this is my favorite restaurant in the Soda City thus far. Shrimp scampi, house made pasta, SC wild shrimp. Split cheese, pickle plate with daughter. Place is 🔥🔥

@pspuri @ATT now it says 1am -- it is a huge area that is out of service for ATT internet (fiber in our case)

@ATT is there a confirmed internet outage in Roswell Ga?

@mwgarbett Everytime I pass the intersection of Cleburne and N. Highland I remember that house on the corner that had a giant “No Road” banner covering their entire roof back then for what seemed like years.

Got an email today. Maybe some of you got the same email. Won't go into details but SOMEONE has to right the history of Freedom Parkway, the Road Fight while everyone is still around.

@AtlantaGrubber ah -- had to look that up -- solid guitar player !

Apparently Dr. Noah Drake is still enormously popular. Tried to get the bride tickets for a venue in Peachtree City that I didn't know existed until a couple of weeks ago. Sold out. Yet a lot of tickets left for Toad the Wet Sprocket the next night.

These guys Joey Valance and Brae were pretty entertaining last weekend at Shaky Knees -- smiles all around youtube.com/watch?v=YXYHUE…

@AtlantaGrubber @jimgilvin Wow — Milton is getting into the level of Johns Creek and their embarrassing chase-out of 37 Main.

Shame on the City of Milton. They successfully destroyed Billy Allen's. It will be closing in 2 weeks. Could have been a great music venue and late night place. Maybe Mayor @jimgilvin can bring Billy's to Alpharetta, where city supports great places.

@SarahZBeeson She must have been a ben folds fan youtu.be/-z7x0V5cm-A

A barista in DC once asked me “is that Sarah with or without an H?” I replied “with an H, thanks for asking.” She handed me a cup that said “Saraha.”

@AtlantaGrubber @SarahZBeeson Yes put them where we want more dollar-wielding people, where we want teetering businesses to take off. Where there is critical mass to consume it in due time. So yes 4: Oak St., Canton St., (north end first, then south), Azalea Park (allowing restaurant leases at Azalea Park)

@SarahZBeeson @scottlong We could use a couple on Oak. Maybe one next to Oak Street Bottle Shop.

In all seriousness, I’ve been in 93 meetings today. Ironically, none with Parks & Rec.

@AtlantaGrubber He sounds like that lame guy in Roswell that limits his options to anywhere closer than Avalon.

A blowhard on social media essentially says the only metro Atlanta restaurant worth a shizzle is Carlo's Pizza in East Cobb. I called his bluff. Better than average NY style pizza, very good cannolis. Now way in hell best NY pizza in metro though. Good for the hood in Marietta

Midweek Roll Atlanta GA 2/8/2022

A few locations in rapidly-gentrifying West Columbia SC as they exist today, before they get pulled into the craziness. This part of town is blowing up.

@scrub @BonkeyDonga ArcNet was what we used at The Computer Group with Novell Networks mid 1980s - we wired and installed a lot of offices in the area with ArcNet. One bad connector in the line and all the desktops lost connectivity.

@scottlong @BonkeyDonga Ah, looked up ArcNet. Was before my time doing any networks.

Was pulling ceiling tile and @BonkeyDonga ran across this. It's been a minute, lol. (I told him it was token ring, too long for me to remember!)

@AtlantaGrubber Yes Hellman’s all the way!

Of course there will be a food angle on Duke's Mayo Bowl. Unpopular opinion here in the south, but I like Hellman's better. Oy, I may regret saying that out loud.

@lunar_vacation @masquerade_atl Tell Her No !

We just saw Alvvays at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta - amazing youtu.be/mzRJhjN-AkQ

@Abrahamburger91 What does someone from the Bay think is the most dangerous neighborhood in San Francisco?

You know someone isn't from the Bay if they think the Tenderloin is the most dangerous neighborhood in San Francisco.

I think I tried this before, but I need a playlist. No order, but best urbanism songs (pro or con) I'll start with The Passenger by Iggy Pop youtube.com/watch?v=-fWw7F… /1
